WOW

Excellent news. I would not have recommended them if I had not had excellent experience with Bunker Hill. I have a spare cable hanging on the shop wall!

Yes, we hope it something easy. I have concern about oil contamination of the brake. If you get the leak fixed the winch brake may not hold on a pull. I have read, seen and heard of lots of ways to try to rejuvenate a brake before simply replacing an oil contaminated brake band (which is the longest...

Hello Sir. The left side of the 3325 should be dry. The brake band is in there along with the brake hydraulic cylinder. The master clutch for the winch is inside the left case, also. Here is the online parts for the brake- https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67823/referrer/navig...

I suspect it is massive corrosion from mouse urine on the trans input shaft trying to pass out of the clutch disc. Wiggle wiggle coffee break, spray, wiggle wiggle, spray lunch. Repeat .

I have taught that a sleeve is removable, like dry vs wet. I would use “cylinder wall” to describe your situation. Mouse and rat piss are extreme corrosive. Lots of wiggling, persuasion, several coffee breaks etc.

I replaced the cable on my C series. I did not remove the air filter, I didn’t bunk it would help me situation on the C series. I did remove the hood, R engine screen, lifted and secured the loader, removed the fuel filter to get the the right rear of the engine, where the cable connects to the spee...

I have bought online from bunker hill. Superb quality. It is important to measure the length, as there were 3 different lengths, I believe all the same PN. https://www.ebay.com/itm/163652723033?hash=item261a766159:g:SloAAOSwxW9dwOHd&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAsOst9vkVSAhwfdLpSW0PYH47p1MUmgfIfJO6tgD5rGgAgl...

Hello 431Dwayne, Because of the contamination you found initially, the 5 out 10 push dwindling to 1, I would suggest another change of the filter and a cleaning of the screen. Are you in a position to change out the entire trans fluid? Even though this is an older machine, this site would consider y...

Are you able to change gears in the transmission? You are correct that you have a problem up stream from the frozen steering clutch. Either in the rear diff or the trans. I believe you will need to tear down quite a bit to get to the route of the problem.

Best regards, Bruce

Unfortunately I have heard of several people going with the poor quality fiber discs and had early and total failure. Consider contacting Lavoy, owner of this site. He may have these discs available. He only sells/deals in high quality items. I don’t have knowledge of the bi-metallic discs you have ...

The Deere 450 crawlers only use shims in the front idler forks for aligning the track in the center of the idler wheel. The grease is left in the adjuster. This adjuster is attached at the rear to a large spring. The idler floats at the front and if the front is impacted the energy is transferred to...

If you have not found an idler from the above sources, consider this contact. C&C equipment out of IN uses this company quite a bit and recommends them highly.

“I found that the idler has some considerable slop when prying on it. I don’t know if this amount of slop is normal with the tension removed from the idler. But, something is telling me it’s normal.” This is not normal. Given the fact that the rest of the undercarriage is I great nick, I would say t...

I’m going to assume there is significant wear on your undercarriage, given that it has spontaneously derailed. If it is good to great shape there will be no short cut, but to drive the master pin out or uncouple the master link (if you have a new “wet chain”). You can release the track adjuster, and...
